UP GRADE MY CPU

I have a hp p6-2021 ,it has 6 gigs of ram and a amd a4 -3400 apu . System product # qu159aa #aba ,I know I can upgrade the ram to 8 gigs from the 6 that I now have but can I up grade the cpu ?

Yes here is the detailed information:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03033831&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N180
You can install up to 8 gigs of memory, which you can have by getting rid of the one 2 gig module you have and buying a mate for the 4 gig module you have.
The processor can be upgraded to an A8 as listed on the spec page.

CPU temp über 70 Grad ? Normal ?

Hallo
ich habe ein 17" macbookpro last 2011 , wer kann mir sagen ob da was defekt ist oder nicht ?
Vielen Dank

It depends upon what applications you have open. First reset the SMC:

If there is no improvement download iStat pro from the Internet. Open Activity Monitor and set it to show 'All Processes' and '%CPU' to display values from high to low. Post images of both. These are examples of mine:

Up grade cpu

Is it possible to run an AMD MP 2800 Cup that has a 266MHz fsb on this MSI 6378.
If so what will be my gains compared to my Duron 1000.
Thank You For your help.

Chances are it will work if it's a V3.0, but you might have stability issues (better have a decent PSU and heatsink) and the bios will probably not recognise the CPU and say something like "AMD unknown CPU at xxxxMHz"
If possible it would be recomended to get a CPU that is officially supported, you should be able to have it exchanged with an XP2600/266 and even get some money back since it's an MP.
CPU preformance will improve 2-3 times vs the duron, but system preformance overall will still be limited by the integrated VGA card for any gaming purpose.
If it's a V2.0 you might be able to find a used 0.18u CPU, the MP2800 won't run at all.
If it's a V1.0 you better forget about upgrading it.

P4M890M-L CPU Up-Grade Question

I'm currently running a P4M890M-L board with a Pentium D 805.
The boot up screen is showing the Bios version as A7255 VMS V1.0.
Will I need to flash the Bios to use an E2180?
Or is this a case of just putting the new one in and see if it works?
Thanks.

MSI Big Bang-XPower II More MB RAM than the CPU can handle...

I understand reading in a few forum post :" By making more memory available to the system more data can be cached in RAM, so there will be less hard drive activity, and less swapping to memory so your system will perform better." But what happen when motherboard for a desktop that supports( and had install) more RAM than the processor can handle?(aka:processor Max Memory Size).
Please comment in this configuration.as I 'm looking for a MB than offer me the more SATA6 connection i found a few available using LGA2011 socket (MSI Big Bang-XPower II LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6GB/s USB 3.0 XL ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS) than support 128GB. As I understand the processor Intel® Core™ i7-3930K Processor only work with 64GB.
Is there any advantage to have a MB that hold a bigger RAM capacity than the CPU? If so, how can this be translate using in a program like Adobe After Effects, RAM preview? thank

More Memory doe's not make it faster as its Volatile Memory (more RAM but it has to be run at much slower speeds) that is very short term and is just a buffer for active Programs and files it Caches there while its active but in no way improves system speed (as it has to be clocked slower to allow the IMC on the CPU to cope with it)! more memory just allows more Active Large programs and files open at the same time and huge amount of ram will only really be of benefit for things like Video Editing, photo editing and 3D rendering as those take alot of ram to allow all the computations that the CPU does to be held for quick access but only when they are active!
having more RAM then your CPU can Handel is a VERY BAD IDEA as it will just refuse to even post or in very rare cases damage the CPU's IMC leading to a dead CPU!
why MSI have done that is for possible later 2011 CPU's that may allow the 128GB of RAM limit to be used but currently they do not exist currently as X79 is a more professional grade Platform that will probably be around for years to come (may be used for many upgrade cycles and may eventually have a cpu that can use 128GB or ram) and who knows what will happen with Intel CPU's in that time frame! (more of a possible forward compatibility thing as its a very high end platform)
as for after effects it uses RAM for holding Render Files so in theory more ram will just allow it to render Larger files that are more complex without hitting the Available Ram ceiling that your computer has but it will not render any faster as a result it just gives it more headroom to work in!
so overall more ram = more Active space available & no increase in speed (actually maybe a drop in speed as it needs to run slower causing LAG/Latency) so it all depends what is important to you here to whether more ram is of any benefit or just a hindrance but that is down to your own use case scenario!

Yet another high cpu using flash issue

Salutations. What I'm about to tell you won't come to you as a surprise as there have been many similar topics discussed here. In fact, on the first page, there were two. So let's get on with it!

windows 7 64bit
6gb ram
intel core i7 cpu q 720 @ 1.60 GHz    (never overclocked. don't know how to)
nvidia geforce gt 230m
firefox is on safe mode. kind of better than regular mode.
firefox waaaay better than chrome in handling flash. haven't tried it on ie. don't want to. i left ie8 at version 8
flash hardware accelration is off
firefox hardware accelaration is on
latest flash player enabled
latest shock player enabled
latest flash director enabled
latest firefox
no idea if my vents and cooling system work properly. read several posts about this issue being related to hardware.
i have updated my drivers using hp support assistant, driver detective, and windows update. wouldn't be surprised if there was a conflict with all this nvidia driver as well. went to the site. it detected my model and sent me the driver. had audio and video options in it.
while writing this post, the adobe tab + 4 flash tabs off the same site (youtube, younow, cam sites, etc) are open.
performance tab in taskbar says
flashplayer 15 *32bit (2 processes with the same name but diff cpu usage by the way. why 2?) is using 5%
firefox *32 bit is using 5%
audiodg.exe is nowhere to be found
now firefox and flashplayer keep alternating ofcourse. flash always ends up with higher cpu when everything breaks. i have noticed that even after closing ff, ff and flash are still in the processes table. they stay there for a bit. why?
ISSUE NUMBER 1: i can't play a video and have flash players on at the same time. I'd like to watch a movie and every now and then look to my other screen to see what's going on with the flash site. it can't be done. all is well at the beginning then it goes to hell. i have the latest free version of bsplayer and videolan. Yes vlc handles better but it all goes to hell in the end. sometimes the video won't even show on vlc; only audio
ISSUE NUMBER 2: i don't understand the logic behind the increase in cpu. if i have 6 tabs open all flash all is well. but at some point it just spikes up. so i always try to keep the number of flash tabs as low as possible. sometimes 4 are no issue but 5 are a big issue. sometimes closing a tab helps and sometimes it doesnt.
ISSUE NUMBER 3: audiodg starts using more than 2%. It can go up to 11 or 13 even. That shouldn't happen. I've been told that for it to go beyond 2 or even 3 means there's a conflict. I had trouble dealing with this issue. I don't know what or where the conflict is. So if there's anyone here that's good at this please contact me. Ill post a pic of device manager. For the sound, i have 4 nvideo and 1 idt audio codec. I cdon't know which to disable or uninstall. im thinking of unintalling every audio/video driver i hav and start from the beginning. BUT LETS NOT MAKE THIS ABOUT AUDIO/VIDEO CONFLICT
QUESTION 1: was there ever a time when this issue didn't exist? perhaps there's a "stable" version of ff or flash that don't cause this.
QUESTION 2: ive seen a lot of posts about this but I honestly can't remember any participants saying OH REALLY? ODD, I NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE
QUESTION 3: isn't there some kind of tracer that can track the moment that it goes to hell? im sure there is but no one's mentioned it so far
QUESTION 4: would buying a new laptop solve this? I'd like to think not since the issue is flash not the capabilities of a laptop but i can't help but think that a better laptop will fix this. My laptop is 4 years old.
QUESTION 5: i don't know anything about multithreading or multiple cores handling a single process but if someone showed me how, would that resolve my issue?
MY WISH: for flash to coexist peacefully with human beings

Disabling Hardware Acceleration in Flash means that we're doing all of the processing on the CPU, instead of on the GPU. The GPU is purpose-built for 3D graphics and video decoding and is far more power efficient. Decoding H.264 video in software is very CPU intensive, which is why we made the huge investment to enable hardware acceleration on the vast majority of available desktop hardware. Running six CPU intensive tasks simultaneously (which is what you're doing by using six simultaneous tabs) is unsurprisingly going to tax your machine.
If you've disabled Hardware Acceleration because video wasn't working right or something, figuring out how to get that enabled (or moving to better hardware with good driver support) would solve the vast majority of what you're describing here. If HP doesn't offer updated drivers, I'd recommend trying the corresponding Nvidia drivers, as OEMs aren't always motivated to pick up the latest fixes once a model is no longer generating new revenue for them. The chipset manufacturers tend to provide longer support, but those drivers aren't officially supported by the OEM.
The architecture for Protected Mode for Firefox is a result of the fact that we've retrofitted a modern plug-in security approach to a legacy plug-in architecture. As you've noticed, equivalent sandboxing in other major browsers is designed into their plug-in architectures, and is therefore more efficient. We've made huge investments to support modern security architecture and always do our best to accommodate efforts from our partners in the browser space to further secure the browser. You can find a detailed explanation of our approach to Firefox here: Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
Firefox controls the instantiation and destruction of Flash instances. You'll also notice that Firefox hangs out for a while after shutdown. This is something that we're aware of, but it's beyond our control.
Flash doesn't have much to do with audiodg, except for the fact that it generates sound and uses the windows sound subsystem. This article seems to present some reasonable advice in resolving issues with high CPU consumption from the sound subsystem. Fix Audiodg.exe High CPU Usage in Windows 7 | Windows EXE Errors
Hardware accelerated video encoding is typically not available on consumer-grade hardware (primarily because of the difference in licensing models for encoding and decoding with popular commercial codecs), and therefore is done on the CPU. The particular website chooses what codecs and bitrates are involved, and higher quality feed will consume more CPU. It's also worth pointing out that not all video can be decoded in hardware. We provide clear guidance to content providers on how to encode video so that it can be played back efficiently, it's ultimately up to the content provider to follow that advice.
So, long story short, each tab consumes resources. Running a single tab is going to use less resources than running multiple tabs. The latest version of Internet Explorer does some stuff to reduce resource consumption in tabs that you're not actively looking at. We're discussing possibilities with the Chrome folks for doing the same thing in Chromium-based browsers. Mozilla isn't interested in investing in browser plug-ins, so we don't expect to see the necessary browser-side improvements there. The Chrome sandboxing model is more efficient that protected mode for Firefox, so tasks that require moving a lot of data (like streaming video) may use less CPU in Chrome.
To answer your questions specifically:
1.) There was a time before we supported multiple tabs, webcam streaming, H.264 video decoding and modern security sandboxing. I wouldn't recommend using those versions.
2.) There are a few posts about this, but we have ~1.5 billion users. The majority of the very small number of folks relative to our install base are complaining their machines are overheating, which is a symptom of an ineffective cooling system.
     There's nothing magic about Flash that causes it to somehow superheat the CPU.
     There was a time before tabs, where people didn't normally run 5-50 browser windows. Websites also got much more complex, and the security threats got far more serious and complex.
     Playing video as a plug-in in the browser as opposed to something like VLC is inherently less efficient, as pretty much each pixel and packet gets passed through the browser before it gets to the OS or drivers.
     All of these things require additional processing. The resources on your computer are still finite, and there is an upper limit to the number of simultaneous tabs you can use.
     At some point, you come to a juncture where you need to decide between throwing more hardware at the problem, or using less tabs simultaneously.
     Also, most laptops have power saving CPUs, so they'll ratchet the clock speed down to save battery. You might want to check your power settings to make sure you're running at the CPU's full capacity when plugged in.
3.) Not that would generate anything really useful.
4.) Possibly. You actually already have a multi-core machine. I think you'd get more bang for your buck by enabling hardware acceleration and switching browsers.
5.) You already have a multi-core machine that we support.
Your Wish: We're constantly addressing security issues identified through our own testing, emerging research and intelligence from our partners in academia, government and industry. We're also looking for opportunities to tune the player, but the reality is that Intel, Nvidia and ATI (and a long list of others, in addition to Adobe) have tuned Flash Player extensively for their hardware. We work closely with the Internet Explorer and Chrome teams to continue to make the Flash experience better, and are always happy to work with the Firefox team should they decide that they're interested in plug-ins and the desktop browser again. At the end of the day, Flash is just a low-level runtime. It's just as possible to write inefficient ActionScript as it is to write inefficient C++, and while we provide some fantastic tooling for profiling your Flash content, it's up to individual content providers to write efficient code. It's really difficult to find opportunities to make generic optimizations that don't break a percentage of the hundreds of millions of sites published with Flash content.
I'm actually still not clear on what the problem you're experiencing is. All software running on your machine that's actively processing something is going to use a non-zero percentage of CPU time. The symptoms you describe indicate that Flash consumes 5% of the CPU, which is totally reasonable. I'm guessing that I don't have the complete story.

"find" process User =nobody [?], using up to 90% of CPU = G5Quad [??? !]

This one is for the PPC G5 Quad pros:
Had been working for hours on my Mac Pro (different machine, I know) with my networked G5 Quad supposedly idling in the background.
The only open applications on the G5 Quad are Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Bridge CS4, the main reason for my keeping the G5 at this point, because of vital plug-ins that are not Intel-compatible and are absolutely irreplaceable and mandatory. (I do have Ps CS5 and CS6 on the Mac Pro. Both aforementioned applications had no open documents. I have not actually used then in about six weeks, so the chance of Bridge building or rebuilding caches id very low.
Alerted by a sudden, very substantial increase of fan and liquid pump activity in my essentially idle G5 Quad, I switched the shared monitors inputs to it and was not surprised by the temperatures, almost all showing no more than 49ºC/121º.
Launched the Activity Monitor, which was showing a Process named "find" owned by a User named "nobody" using up to 90º% of the CPU column.
Terminated said process, only to see it become active again a short time (few minutes) later.
While typing this post, with interruptions, (20 minutes or so) the "nobody" user disappeared, as did the "find" process. some 15 minutes later, the fan and pump activity ended, returning to the G5's normal vigorous hum.
It has been running normally for about 30 minutes now, with very quiet sound levels.
Obviously, I'm mystified because all of this is above my pay grade.
I have a bunch of questions:
1.— Why on Earth is/was there a user named "nobody" working my machine so hard? What or who can it be?
2.— What is a "find" process, especially on a supposedly idle machine?
2.— Any chance my computer has been hacked and overtaken by a "third party"?
3.— Should I be worried? I am.
4.— What steps would you recommend I take at this point?

I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
What are the audio settings?
What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
It could be related to the audio frequency?

Tiger 10.4.4 Slow Afp access when AppleFileServer app takes up 100% CPU

I'm hoping maybe someone here will have a clue on this because so far everyone else I've talked to doesnt!
G4 Xserve Specs:
G4 1Ghz Proc
1.5 Gig Ram
x2 60Gig drives (Software Stripe)
LAN: 1Gig Asante 1000SX Fiber Card (w/ tiger drivers from Manufacturer)
Previously running 10.3.9 then upgraded to 10.4.4
Supports: Mac Manger (90 clients doing MMLocalPrefs)
Reading Counts (about 60 concurrent clients)
General Shares (130-160 clients) basically just mounts were people backup their local documents.
Any given time about 250 users connected
Users all in NetInfo
Problem:
Over Christmas break we upgraded our existing Xserve G4 Slot loader server from 10.3.9 to 10.4.3. When we returned from the break and all the teachers were back on we noticed that AFP file transfers were very slow. Mac Manger login, Reading Counts, Grade Quick, and even general shares were not responding as quickly as they did prior to the upgrade. The day after everyone returned the 10.4.4 update became available. We upgraded and still had the same problem. I called Apple support who ran me through plugging a machine directly into the server and more or less that was very fast. They blamed our switch gear and that was more or less the end of the conversation.
Through the next 3 weeks I probed our switch guy for a resolution. He made modifications which seemed to get us a little fast, but still not back to where we were. So at the end of the 3rd week we paid a consulting company to come in and turn the new G5 server we recently purchased into the new main server. 10.3.9 Was installed then upgraded to 10.4.4. After all patches were applied we migrated the Netinfo users into Open Directory, moved over their home directories, Reading Counts databases, and Grade Quick databases. Also all Mac Manger stuff was recreated from scratch. Here is what I ended up with:
G5 Xserve Specs:
G5 2Ghz Proc
3 Gig Ram
x1 80 Gig drive (for System)
x2 400 Gig drives (Software Stripe for storage)
LAN: 1 Gig onboard NIC Copper
10.3.9 Installed for MM usage then upped to 10.4.4
Supports: Mac Manger (90 clients doing MMLocal Prefs)
Reading Counts (about 60 concurrent clients)
General Shares (130-160 clients)
Users all in Open Directory
The next morning when all the users came in things were better. Processor was no longer going to 100% early in the morning and staying there all day like it previously had. However it would do so on occasion still. Often staying at 100% for 30 mins and then dropping for no reason. When we continued to have the problem I decided to drop some clients. We previously had all student machines in one of our Elementary buildings doing MM logins as well. It was felt that these student (1 acct for each grade level) accounts could have corrupt files (which Disk Utility doesn’t pick up) because we were allowing them Multiple Logins with the same account. MM was disabled on all these machines and so were the accounts. This dropped us down to approx. 50-60 MM clients and again we seen an improvement. CPU was still sticking but not nearly as long.
So that more or less brings us up to current. Here are things I’ve tried which don’t really fit too well into the above timeline, but were all done after the new server came online:
- Went to all MM machines and deleted all the prefs from them. Also deleted the Classic folder out of all users’ profiles forcing new prefs to be created.
- We had Mac Manger set to copy all prefs to the machines. Changed it to just internet and Admin prefs.
- Have tested with different buildings disabled to see if one building was more so an issue then another.
As it stands now when my CPU hits 100% the AppleFileServer app according to Top and activity monitor is using all of it. The hard drives are not blinking and the network graph is only showing approx. 400Kbs of traffic average. All I’m hearing from Apple is that I’m serving too many people which if my HDs were blinking like crazy and the server was putting out some decent network through put I would understand. Others have told me its all Mac Manger’s fault. Again though prior to the upgrade I never had any problem with this stuff! Even when I had high CPU usage in 10.3.9 it was barely noticeable by my network users both MM and regular shares.
Any one have any ideas?

Hi folks.
I've upgraded my servers to OS X 10.4.5 server...
We're still experiencing slowness with clients (about 35), with network home folders. Especially noticable when more users are on-board.
But even with just a few users logged in. And logging in seems to take longer (30 secs, instead of say, 10 secs).
And file transfers are painfully slow.
Logging in as a "local" admin user on the machine works great -- file transfers are faster too.
Previously, we had a whole boat-load of other services on this particular server box. I've been progressively moving them off to other/new boxes... Aiming for the "one server - one service" principle.
We also have a file-sharing volume, and Mail on the same box as the LDAP authentication/home folders, so I'm migrating these services to new boxes too (easier said than done in a production environment!).
I usually run this command in a terminal window on a given machine or server, to see what's running at the time...
run top -us 10 5
Check how many page in-outs you have as well (listed in the info at the top of the 'top' command when it's being run).
Other changes...
I've recently put in 10/100/1000 HP switches to see if that helped (was 10/100 hubs and switches); that helped a lot, but the problems are still bad. I also upgraded my OS X Server boxes to 5GB of RAM.
We're not a design studio... We're just an office with a "standard" load of documents being opened, editted and saved. Occasional PDFs, that type of thing. But mostly Word docs, web browsing and Mail.
Hopefully migrating the large shared folder and Mail services will help too.
I suspect any directories with a large number of files will be contributing (500+ files in a directory). But I don't have many/any like this.
Add to that, using apps like Office/Word or Quark across a network, and that will definitely contribute.... Hence my reasoning to separate the stand-alone file-share to a different server box.
I've also got client machines to only check mail every 15 minutes (especially until I get migrate them to another box).
I'm also getting my network cabling checked out, just in case ... it is a few years old after all !!! I've replaced suspect patch leads with new CAT5 or CAT6 leads, and destroyed the old ones.
Also, try checking through all your Log files on both the server, and a 'typical' client machine or two. I've noticed some 'interesting' entries in the Directory Services client log file, for example, talking about "Network transition occurred" and so on.
My HP managed switches also report some CRC errors, and the occasional duplex-mismatch error... and a few traffic "errors", which I didn't know about until the managed switches were installed. (Might be solved by setting the speed/duplex of the port / Mac manually, or could be cabling issue).
My client machines are all iMac G4's and iMac G5's. Oh, and occasional recent Powerbook G4's, with gigabit networking.
Let us know if anyone has a break-through!
Cheers,
Derek!

Buongiorno, ho acquistato un macbook pro 13 retina fine 2013, e giocando a touchgrind, che richiede poco a livello hardware, il processore raggiunge subito i 90-95 gradi celsius,è normale? che succederebbe giocando a un gioco più pesante (borderlands 2)?

Buongiorno, ho acquistato un macbook pro 13 retina fine 2013, e giocando a touchgrind, che richiede poco a livello hardware, il processore raggiunge subito i 90-95 gradi celsius, è normale? Essendo touchgrind 'leggero', quanto si riscalderebbe il processore con un gioco come borderlands 2, che si può considerare 'pesante'? grazie in anticipo

Games can be very CPU/GPU intensive and temperatures in the 90°c range are not uncommon. Note that there are thermal shutdown provisions in the Macbook Pro that will turn the computer off before damage from heat will harm it.
If possible, play games on it in environments are cool and consider a cooling pad if you wish to play games often.
Ciao.

Problem in rendering videos direct linked to speed grade.

hi
i'm revanth,i'm facing a problem that all the videos which are direct link to speed grade are not rendering in AME..

Revanth ...
Would love to help you. Are you still having this problem, and if so ... I need some info.
OS/CPU/RAM/GPU/vRAM & specifics on version for the OS and drivers for the GPU. For example, mine looks like this, because knowing it is useful when I need to ask for help, I created a text file on my desktop to simply copy it ...
-Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s); Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB.

-System: 2-disc SSD RAID; Cache Files: Internal SSD; Media Files: 2TB Internal HD; Project Files: 2TB Internal HD; Export Files: 2TB Internal HD
Anyone with some knowledge of the Adobe Digital Video Apps (DVA's) can look at that and immediately note a few areas that might allow problems but rule out many others. Speeds the whole puzzling process along.
Next ... workflow. Is working in Sg a new-ish thing for you or do you have some pro experience at it? I don't want to bore/insult you nor talk over your head. What's the footage of the project (camera/codec info), and what hefty things may have been applied in PrPro, After Effects, or Sg such as noise control, warp-stabilizer, tracked key-frame masks, multiple LUT's/Looks, that sort of thing.
And ... I take it if you export a non-Sg processed video it works as expected through AME? So it's only IF you take a PrPro project through a round-trip to Sg that AME refuses to export?
Next ... a screen grab of the AME settings you're using would be excellent ...

Let's talk motherboard and CPU in simple English please-

I am a home enthusiast/student (signed up with a popular web site) that loves all things Adobe. I have the Master Suite. I love Premiere Pro (can’t wait to learn After Effects). I have a consumer-grade AVCHD video camera from a ‘big box store’.
I don’t care about having a gaming rig or overclocking, or learning about RAID, or a huge/heavy computer case in my tiny office. So the minimum number of drives will work.
I have been watching Newegg TV and the ASUS guy nearly put me in a coma with all the acronyms.
I want a ‘middle of the road’ rig.
Can someone enlighten me on the following:
Sandy Bridge vs. Ivy Bridge?
LGA 1155 vs. LGA 2011?
What does this mean: “Onboard Video Chipset: Supported only by CPU with integrated graphic”? This is a common note on the motherboard description on the website.
SSD caching?
Thanks.

Will there be a bottleneck with 16GB RAM and 32 threads CPU?

And if so how much of a bottleneck? Is it worth the money to upgrade to 48GB? I have 8x2GB in the HP Z820, but was thinking of getting more RAM from Mr Memory that is compatible with the Z820 for much cheaper than what HP are selling HP branded ram for. I was looking at 8x4GB for around £344 to make 48GB. Is it risky going unbranded or do people do this a lot?
Thanks

HP can list that it's an option that doesn't mean it's recommended or the best way to do it without having issues. Since the ram controller was moved to the CPU, trying to run asynchronous timings on system boards with Quad channel is asking for problems. If you call the ram manufacturers they wont recommend it with their ram and likely wont support it if they have any clue. Due to how the ram market is so volatile and dimm modules change ram chips from 1 production run to the next , you cant even run 2 different sets of the same model of ram with different manufacturer chips on the dimms. The ram companies will tell you that you need to change them out. I have been dealing with all of the ram variables since tri-channel started on the I7 Gen 1 platform and it only gets more complex with Quad channel. We have our ram custom made just to ensure we have the same manufacturer chips on our dimms regardless of the production along with the same stepping of construction until the wafer has to change. There are far more timings than CAS rating and the most important to compatibility are the sub timings which the manufacturer does not list. HP also can say they only want Grade 1A ram modules for their dimms which is why they are more expensive while that ram manufacturer will use other grades for their own branded ram. Those modules will not work together most of the time if at all. Do what you will but dont say you were not warned. Much of this information is not available to anyone unless they talk to the Engineers over in TW that deal with the dram chip fabs.

Speed grade not rendering

So i have tried every file format i could think of to render out my speed grade project and no matter what i try (compressed by h.264 or non compressed, to pro res 422) the video is either corupt or the colour work does not end up in the final movie.
I imported a pro res 422 move into the time line as the linking does not work very well for mac, and used the program to pic all of the edit points.
All i want to do it kick it out but it is not working! what am i doing wrong?
Also i have a mac pro 2009, 10 gigs of ram 2x2.26 ghz quad with an Nivida K600 card (which i know is not aproved but works just fine it is the Quatro arcitecture) And did all of my colouring on an asus PA monitor. Besides from that it is a nice program, I would like more controll over the work space though....

Revanth ...
Would love to help you. Are you still having this problem, and if so ... I need some info.
OS/CPU/RAM/GPU/vRAM & specifics on version for the OS and drivers for the GPU. For example, mine looks like this, because knowing it is useful when I need to ask for help, I created a text file on my desktop to simply copy it ...
-Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s); Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB.
-EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 w/4Gb vRAM; Driver Version 347.25
-System: 2-disc SSD RAID; Cache Files: Internal SSD; Media Files: 2TB Internal HD; Project Files: 2TB Internal HD; Export Files: 2TB Internal HD
Anyone with some knowledge of the Adobe Digital Video Apps (DVA's) can look at that and immediately note a few areas that might allow problems but rule out many others. Speeds the whole puzzling process along.
Next ... workflow. Is working in Sg a new-ish thing for you or do you have some pro experience at it? I don't want to bore/insult you nor talk over your head. What's the footage of the project (camera/codec info), and what hefty things may have been applied in PrPro, After Effects, or Sg such as noise control, warp-stabilizer, tracked key-frame masks, multiple LUT's/Looks, that sort of thing.
And ... I take it if you export a non-Sg processed video it works as expected through AME? So it's only IF you take a PrPro project through a round-trip to Sg that AME refuses to export?
Next ... a screen grab of the AME settings you're using would be excellent ...

CPU and Motherboard upgrade for Premiere Elements 11

Hi all. Been perusing the Premiere Elements and Pro forums but still have a few questions.
I’m upgrading Premiere Elements from PrE9 to PrE11 and am upgrading some of my desktop’s hardware at the same time. I could use some advice about choosing a CPU, graphics card, and motherboard. The goal of this upgrade is to considerably speedup transcoding without breaking the bank. The budget’s a bit flexible but I’d like to keep it at or under $500 for the motherboard/CPU combo.
The computer will be used for editing and transcoding AVCHD videos. The videos are shot in either 1080i or 1080p using a Panasonic HDC-TM700.
I’m processing about 2-3 hours of video per week and my current system takes a long time to transcode. For example, it takes well over 3 hours to convert 1 hour of AVCHD video to wmv. An Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 with 3 GB of RAM was fine for the occasional video, but it’s too slow for what’s currently needing to be processed.
New CPU:
At this point I’m looking at the following processors:
i5 3570K
Ivy Bridge
No hyper threading
i7 2600K
Sandy Bridge
hyper threading
i7 3770K
Ivy Bridge
hyper threading
Questions:
) Does PrE11 make use of hyper threading?
) If PrE11 doesn’t use hyper threading is there much of anything to be gained by getting the i7? The i5 is about $90- $100 cheaper than the i7 CPUs and seems pretty quick.
New Motherboard:
I’ve had good luck overclocking Asus motherboards, so I’m leaning towards getting another one, but am open to alternatives.
The choice of board will depend mainly on Intel’s northbridge chip:
Ivy Bridge – Z77 chip
Sandy Bridge – Z68 chip
Question:
) Are there any other northbridge chip/CPU combos I should be looking at?
Current Graphics Card:
nVidia Geforce 8400 GS 512 MB DDR2
Drivers are up to date and downloaded from nVidia.
Question:
) Since PrE11 doesn’t use the graphics card’s GPU, will it be okay to continue using this card for the new build? I’m not a gamer and this card works just fine for the current build.
Additional hardware/software details:
PSU: Seasonic X660
HDD: Four 1TB 7200 rpm drives
Memory: 16 GB DDR3 RAM
OS: Win7 64 bit or Win8 64 bit (haven’t decided yet whether to go with Win 7 or 8)
Thanks in advance for your comments and help.

I have been going through the same process. Yes PE does support multiple threads and definatley go with the ivybridge i7 cpu. Asus is also the board I'm going with. They have made OCing much easier but be careful of high temps that leads to early failure of the cpu . Most of them let you have a maximum of 32 gig of ram and with memory so cheap check out upgrading to a higher grade memory. This can be overclocked as well. One of the ivy bridge cpus has 6 cores but cost $500 plus and requires a more expensive MB as well. too expensive for me though. I believe the built in graphics processor in the i7 k series the HD4000 is enough for PE. For about $650 I got an i7 at Microcenter for $229 and I think they just lowered the price to $200 an Asus MB at Newegg for $140 and 16gig ram for $70 also check out SSD drives in the 128 gig range are about $100 which you could use for you C: drive maybe take it up to 256 gig for more. They are getting pretty cheap
Good luck with your build.
